UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pointed out two main pressure points that could push Russia to the negotiating table.
Source Starmer at a press conference after an online meeting with the leaders of the coalition of the willing, as reported by European Pravda Details Starmer was asked what could be done to force Russia to the negotiating table Quote The first is more military capability for Ukraine and fresh commitments have been put on the table this morning in that regard, Starmer said.
The second, he said, is a set of sanctions against Russia.
We want to tighten the sanctions still further.
And we discussed this morning how much further we can go, including the question of frozen assets, he said. So we discussed further sanctions that have got nothing to do with the assets which we will take forward as a result of this mornings discussion, but also continuing the discussion about what more can be done on the assets themselves, Starmer said. Background Recently, dozens of European MPs urged Belgium to confiscate Russian assets frozen under its jurisdiction.
On 13 March, the French National Assembly the lower chamber of the French parliament adopted a resolution calling for increased support for Ukraine and the seizure of frozen Russian assets.
